Japan's role in international finance and trade and the effects of their collapse on the world market are discussed. Other aspects covered include: the geology of the entire Toyko area, what people will feel during the earthquake, the probable scale of damage, how many buildings will be destroyed and people killed and the probable extent of destruction by fire. A guide is provided on how to watch for danger signals and how to hedge against disaster
